Becoming Michael Myers: Why Fear Can Be Therapy

Every October, the quiet town of Falkland transforms into something out of a nightmare — and I’m right at the center of it. Dressed as Michael Myers, I stalk through the fog and screams of “The Hunt,” an attraction my brother Kozy and I help bring to life for The Haunting of Falkland. But for me, this isn’t just about scaring people — it’s about healing.In this episode of Unwritten Chapters – Life After Trauma, I talk about why Halloween has always meant more than costumes and candy. It’s about community, catharsis, and confronting the darkness instead of running from it. Through fear, fatigue, and laughter, I’ve found connection — with my brother, with my town, and with parts of myself I thought I’d buried.I also share some exciting news: I’ve written a new book, set to release in February 2026 — a continuation of the stories that started here. So grab your flashlight, step into the fog, and let’s talk about how sometimes… facing the fear is the therapy.
